It's worth mentioning that the phrase "multitasking" has a specific meaning in common usage, and the article points to that usage quite clearly.
Your point is also well taken: that there is a neurological understanding of brains that debunks the common idea of multiple tasks being completed "at once." We, instead, switch back and forth between single tasks, and at a heavy cost to completion time (which is mentioned above around "the multitasking group performed far less effectively.") The exercise linked here [1] is the one I've used to show how unnatural it is to our minds.
I love this topic. Thank you for exploring it Sarah!

Thanks, Matthew! I've adjusted the typo.
